About this artwork

This is a woodcut made by Félix Vallotton in 1892. It takes the Lion Monument in Lucerne as its subject, so the viewer sees the famous carved lion rendered in the language of printmaking. Vallotton was Swiss and French, associated with the Nabis, and is remembered as an important figure in the development of the modern woodcut. Here, the medium suits the subject well: the monument is reduced to bold shapes and clear contrasts rather than fine detail.

On your wall: Its restrained, graphic character suits calm, uncluttered spaces such as a hallway, study or living room, where it can hold a wall without crowding it.

About Félix Vallotton

Félix Vallotton was a Swiss and French painter and printmaker, linked with the group of artists known as Les Nabis. He played an important part in the development of the modern woodcut. His paintings include portraits, landscapes, nudes and still lifes, all handled in a calm, realistic style that keeps emotion at a distance.
